Well it seems our experience are similar. While doing advanced sound design (not talking about an FM bell, a reese or an acid bass), I found myself struggling with most of the synths. Phase Plant was the cure for me. Just exactly the way I think. Even Avenger 2, my favourite synth, has to give in in terms of pure workflow.while i absolutely think it’s always a good idea to demo, my experience with phase plant is apparently nothing like this. it’s become my go to for so many use cases, more than i’d ever expect for one soft synth. clearly everyone is different insofar as how their minds process things but for me, there’s no other synth out there that is more intuitive to create sounds with. everything about its workflow just makes sense. as far as its sound goes, and i mean no disrespect to anyone here, but it sounds as good or as bad as the quality of the patch you design. with the level of control you have access to, im not buying that it sounds helplessly “digital” as this isn’t a virtual analog synth with limited parameters that you can adjust, leaving you in a position where you or have to sort of accept things as the character of the instrument. you have the ability to change anything you can imagine basically, so if you don’t like the sound, simply do something about it. a good starting point for someone finding it sounding digital would probably be to use the nonlinear filter over the clean one.You should probably try it out before you buy it it has a 2 week trial availableSo you defo get all of the sound generation synth stuff? These companies always do a shit job of actually telling you what you get. Like Cinesamples Musio for instance.It doesn’t come with the premium effects. Faturator,convolver,disperser,slice eq,carve eq,shaper table,snapheap and multipass are all extra individual purchases or included in ultimate. You do get all the other 31 effects plugins, so it’s still more effects than you get from most synths for 200 dollars.It goes on sale often enough that I would wait and get it half off
Agreed, It was a bad decision to buy without trying it first
I've been really disapointing by this synth. It sound meeh, way too digital in the bad way.
Making a sound design is like a gymnastics. It's not intuitiv at all.
also i’ll echo the sentiment of getting the ultimate package. if you demo the synth and find it’s for you, the tools you’ll get with the ultimate package are well worth the cost.
